About

Name
Velithgar

In his native tongue, 'Velithgar' means "Great Glory", while his last name came from the name of the queen his clan once served.

Race
Hrothgar

Height
Towering.

Velithgar stands easily over 7 feet tall when relaxed, pushing close to 8 feet when fully upright.

Build
Heavily muscular.

His muscles are very well defined even under his fur. He looks like he could probably throw even a well armored Roegadyn around and wrestle large beasts to the ground.

Distinguishing Traits
Imposing build, sharp claws and teeth, large curved horns, heightened senses (vision, hearing, smell, taste), very thick accent, strong aether (earth aspect), very glossy, very soft fur and mane.

Sexuality
Velithgar is straight and is currently in an open poly relationship.

He is not often quick to sleep with someone, preferring to become friends or companions before lovers. He prefers sharing himself with people who are interested in who he is before what his body is like. He has no problems with having multiple lovers or sharing partners.

Job
Velithgar is primarily a gladiator in the Ul'dahn Coliseum.

When not fighting in the pit, he serves as a mercenary or bodyguard. He is also known to wander in search of greater challenges, often helping people along the way, making him a rather good adventurer, though he doesn't feel like the title quite fits him.

Personality
Velithgar is big, loud, and boisterous. He is also very friendly, kind, and loyal to those who have earned his trust.

He is incredibly patient and very slow to anger, though when something happens involving his friends and lovers, he is quick to act. He can be bold and confident, easily one that won't back down from a good challenge. Despite his rather thick accent and his tendency to forget words, he is rather intelligent and happy to discuss a myriad of topics, though lack of formal schooling does mean his range of knowledge is limited. A lover of fine food and drink, Velithgar will almost always respond positively to an offer of a hot meal, alcohol, and some good conversation to go with it on the side. There is also nothing shy about this Hrothgar when it comes to most topics of conversation, and though his first thoughts involving women don't immediately involve sex, he won't usually shy away from such activities if he feels chemistry and attraction towards them. While he has no desire for a permanent relationship, he will form lasting connections with people of any race or gender, be that as a friend, companion, or lover.

Description
Everything about Velithgar suggests he is bigger than life, from his towering height to his rippling muscles. His appearance suggests a mixed heritage of both leonine and tigerine Hrothgar which might explain his rather imposing height and build. His fur is primarily snow-white with several black tiger stripes, including black ear tips and tail tuft, and it is incredibly glossy and soft. His eyes are equally snow-white with a vertical black slit that can expand disconcertingly in the darkness. While his sharp teeth, claws, horns, and long mane suggest a bestial nature and habits, he keeps himself rather well groomed and clean and normally smells more of metal and leather than of grime or dirt when in armor, or of vanilla and cinnamon when in casual clothes due to the oils he uses in his fur. Below his fur, his muscular body is covered in scars, suggesting a life of battles. Speaking of muscles, he has those in droves, suggesting he performs strenuous activities for long periods of time. He prefers to wear his lighter coliseum armor both because he likes showing off the body he has worked so hard for and because it is easier to move around in in hectic pit fights. However, he sill not shy away from heavier armor when a coming battle calls for it.

RP Hooks

  • "A little help, please!": Velithgar is always happy to help someone in need, be it with a simple helping hand in a task getting something just out of reach, to requiring strong labor, or even as a bodyguard and sellsword for a good cause. Depending on the task, an offer of payment might sweeten the deal, though he'll take good food and drink as readily as he'll take coin!

  • "Hey, I know you!": Velithgar is a well-known gladiator and frequently appears in the Ul'dahn arenas. He is known as a fierce fighter and able-bodied companion, and he is known to win more often than lose. Feel free to know him or even be his biggest fan!

  • "Hey, I fought you once!": Similarly to the above, feel free to have once faced him in the arena and come out as either a winner or a loser! He'll probably remember you as well and would be happy to reminisce.

  • "I can't finish all this food...": Velithgar loves to eat and drink and an offer to share in a meal or down some fine alcohol is sure to win you his company and a good conversation.

  • "Wow, you're huge! Nice armor!": Feel free to simply approach because you like the way he looks. A compliment about his armor or appearance is sure to win some friendly conversation, especially if you look interesting yourself.

OOC/RP Guidelines

- I prefer RP partners to be at least 18 years old. I will RP with younger players so long as it is understood we will not be doing anything adult oriented.

- Avoid metagaming and godmodding, please. I will always attempt to do things and allow my partner to dictact the results. I expect the same respect towards me.

- My RP style is geared towards my partner. If you do short posts, expect the same from me. If you give me a long post to work with, I am more than happy to return one of my own.

- I am comfortable with darker themes (violence, sex, drugs, etc) and am just fine RPing them out as long as they make sense to the story being told between our characters. Any particular heavy themes I would prefer to discuss OOCly first before anything happens ICly. I will not RP any scenes that involve permanent injury, dismemberment, or death.

- I enjoy all types of RP. Combat, adventure/exploration, bar crawls, casual chatter, romantic, friendly, whatever. I like to see my characters thrive in all walks of their life and enjoy playing out just about anything there is to be played out. If you're looking for a particular type of RP don't hesitate to ask and let's see if we can't make something happen! Please note that while I will RP combat, it is not my favorite genre and I would like to discuss the scene first if possible.

- I am fairly lore-abiding, but as long as what you play isn't so completely out of the realm of possibility I'll probably not say much about it. If you do RP something completely lore breaking I will not judge you for it, but I will respectfully decline to take part in it.

- OOC and IC are not the same, nor should they ever be treated as such. I ask all that I RP with keep this in mind and know how to keep the two separate! Please, no drama outside of the game, I just want to play with friendly peoples and have a good time.

- Please note, that while I enjoy romantic RP and am not opposed to sexual RP I am not looking to live vicariously through my characters. I am not interested in dating you nor am I wanting to cyber with you, no matter what our characters themselves may be getting up to.

- I enjoy PvE content and am always happy to make RP friends who will also run dungeons and the like with me from time to time! So if you're looking for an RP buddy who will actual run around doing non-RP stuff with you, I will provide!
